Finally we had the call from a young lady on a company excursion who had arrived at the BP petrol garage in Willows and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel mate's Audi S5 lease car. The poor lady was somewhat troubled by the sounds of it, saying "I can't believe that I have ruined the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember that I was running a diesel!"

The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In Diesel

In Greater Manchester we are identifying more and more examples of AdBlue contamination when a driver has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent due to drivers being unsure of the way to use it (take note: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly near to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what's the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank?

Since the product is mostly ionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition to this, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters. Assuming you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank get it drained immediately. And certainly be careful not to start the motor - not even to move it away from the pump. In the event that you did start the car you may very likely need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

In the event that you find yourself in this predicament do not panic! Contact us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination service. Our experts possess the practical know-how and working experience to get you back on your way quickly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

How to find out if I put the wrong fuel in my car?

If you’ve just filled up at a petrol station and the cars starts to act a bit strange you might start to wonder if you accidentally put the wrong fuel in it.

Well, there are a few things to can check that will be able to tell you:

  1. How is the car responding? There are some very common misfuel symptoms which can be a good indicator of wrong fuel:
    • Loss of engine power – can feel like the car has run out of fuel
    • A lot of smoke (more than usual)
    • Engine coughing or starting to splutter
    • Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
  2. Look at your fuel receipt. It will state clearly if you filled up with diesel or unleaded. If you don’t have the receipt, you can often return to the petrol station where you filled up and give them the date and time (and pump) where you refueled and they will often be able to give you a VA receipt.
  3. Smell it. Diesel and petrol have very distinctly different smells. Anyone familiar with the motor industry should be able to help you with this. Or you could even get another car to park alongside and smell the fuel caps of both, comparing them to determine what the fuel type is.
  4. Call us to come out and assess the car. In the majority of cases we will be able to tell if the car has been misfueled before beginning work on it. If we discover that the vehicle does not need a fuel drain, you will only be charged a call-out fee.
